Cathy Della Lucia is a Boston based visual artist working predominantly in sculpture and ceramics. She received a BA in studio art at Xavier University and MFA in sculpture from Boston University. Her work utilizes both found and fabricated form and considers the role of objects, the body, and raw material as systems and vessels that carry, conceal, conduct, and connect. She uses modularity as a medium to explore ideas of labor and leisure, inheritance, (un)belonging, and Asian American identity. Her practice is deeply focused on touch and material sensibility as a method of connecting with Korean traditions of visual culture and collaboration through the reuse of material and found object excess sourced from local makers and fixers. She is an assistant professor of studio art at Boston College where she teaches sculpture and 3D design.
